Dear My Darling, You’ve locked me in a prison of tissue and bone, You rendered me up through sight and confusion. And you think your body is truly your own When really, I simply let you believe the illusion. And guess what darling? You’re all alone. I speed your heart so fast Make it ...

I am a messy wrapper I need to shove everything in a box to wrap it But it needs to be the right size box or it’ll bother me And even then, the box will be wrapped by me Thus it will look like a three year old wanted to put a teddy bear in chirstmas paper as a blanket And that, in all hones...

The hourglass I shattered it. I let the sand and the glass explode in splinters at my feet, and the dark redwood get caught in the fabrics of my pajama pants. Maybe now, with the hourglass broken, time can finally stop mocking me in the darkness, and my body will allow me to sleep. When I tur...

Ever wonder what a girl sees when she looks in a mirror And I don’t want to hear ugly or fat or any of that because it’s stereotypical It’s insulting And it’s wrong. I would know. I’ve been there before. No, instead she sees the girl she always wanted to be As a pale outlined gho...

It started this day

You never truly start over. Of course you can repainted the entire thing white, but you know it has a past bec...

This world is so unkind
Why did he have to leave
He was so awesome, so giving
Something you would never believe
You should have seen him
So giving, so honest
So loving, caring, kind funny, genuine
So helpful, happy and modest
He was my best friend
There for me through thin and thick

I left the office silently, and without even looking at the girls in the next room, I went upstairs. For the first time in a long time, there was too much on my mind to handle. I started to feel light headed, angry, stressed. I could feel all my negative energy trying to get out. I was so unbelievab...

At one point though, she lost her bracelet, and I volunteered to get it. She got out of the water and I dove under. I search...
